Darn, I'm really slow today. The problem is, obviously, that libgtk-quartz is looking in the wrong prefix directory. I'll rebuild it and get a repaired bundle up in the next day or so. In the meantime you can try
$ sudo ln -s /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources /opt/gnucash-2.3.x 
so that the libraries with bad rpaths are findable. (I'm not 100% sure that it will work; there may be other problems.)
